In VirtueMart we were having some trouble removing the product availability for a client who wanted his inventory kept secret. After poking around the code for a little bit, we discovered that the key to its removal lies in the following two files:
public_html/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/product_details/flypage_images.tpl.php
and
public_html/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/product_details/flypage.tpl.php
On about line 56 there are the lines:
<?php
if( $this->get_cfg( 'showAvailability' ))
echo $product_availability; }
?>Delete them, and your problems are solved.
